As a Mavs fan, can I respectively decline? I have no love for LeBron but not a fan of the back-handed love for the Mavs. You can root for Dirk for being a great basketball player and the Mavs being a great basketball team, not because you were spurned by LeBron.

The story so far:
A basketball player who grew up in Akron, Ohio, played basketball for an Akron high school, and went directly from Akron, Ohio to play for a Cleveland team (for 7 years) decided in a highly publicized move last year to leave the team and fans and move to Miami. The apparent motive was to play for a team that would win a championship. The Miami team was beaten by Dallas for the championship.
The Governor of Ohio sent out this proclamation to tweak his, er, nose.
Look up LeBron James for more data.
I see parallels with a senator who decided to run for President after only 2 years in office, but I’m sure that doesn’t enter into it.

For my Aussie mates (esp Qld & NSW) it’s a bit of a dig at a player who left the state to play for another state because the state of origin team is, well, never going to win a final. Irony is that the team he went to got beaten in the final, and this is his payback from the people in the state of origin.(I think I’ve got that right )

It’s along the lines of making the losing rugby league State of Origin side’s captain wear a pink tutu and parading him around the winning state’s capital. Or something like that

Here’s another one for you. In honor of their playoff performance, the city of Miami declared ‘Lebron James Day’ last week. To celebrate it, all schools and government offices stopped work 12 minutes early.

Ooh, or another one: why can’t Lebron James give you change for a dollar? Because he’s only got three quarters.
